The Danyillc Register, referring to the
little tilt between the Alexandra Gaeotte
and the Dispatch on the subject of Alex
andria having bought up the canal bonds
TO pay Us indebtedness with, says that
the STATE would have done exactly the
same thing in similar case, and that it
is an illustration of the citizens right to
bay the States coupons and use them for
taxes.
Though the Register does not advocate
paying in coupons, it sees the gisi of the
whole matter IN the right of the citizen to
do so If he chooses, and concludes:
1--WE have never believed that the State
could keep the coupons out Of the Treas
ury so long as the decisions of the United
States courts are against her. We do not
pretend TO say what the future has in
store for us, but thus far the Riddleber-
ger bill has been dead failure"

of those coming to us certificates of char

Last Friday WAS Mrs. Mary A. (irandma)

Last Friday was Mrs. Mary A. (tirandma)
Hopping's 77th birthday. large number
of her friends invited themselves to q
surprise party and supper at her house in
the afternoon. They took with them quite
number of pretty presents as a token OF
their remembrance. II was exclusively q
"hen party, everything of the male per
suasion, even to the old Tom cat, being
rigidly excluded and guards being stationed
at all accessible points TO prevent the
approach of any of those "horrid men,.
We asked one of the ladies' who was present
what they did? why, said she, ''we talked
and we-talked''. Quite likely.
The Dowagiac Times thinks that sin view
of the fact that both Hotaling and his wife got
glorously full'-"and are serving a thirty
day sentence in the Van Buren, county bastile,
the sentence of Labadie to the Ionia House
of Correction comes very close to being an
excessive one" Just what mitigating effect
the drunkenness of the Hotalings in January
should have had in the matter of sentence
for an attempt to commit murder in
September, the Times does not explain.
Perhaps it is no crime in Cass county to
shoot man who drinks or who has q
drunken wife. Van Buren, county courts do
not look at the matter in that light. Instead
of Labadies sentence being an excessive one,
it was a very light one and is 30 regarded by
the court, by the people and by the shootist
himself who was exceedingly pleased that he
was not punished more severely.
He was widower and lived in Lawrence:
she was widow and lived in Ohio. They
used to know each other in the days of their
youth, and what could be more natural than
that in their time of sorrow and loneliness
they should turn to each other for comfort
and consolation? SO correspondence was
opened up between them she sent him her
photograph and promised TO come to
Lawrence and become his loving wife. The
time was appointed at which she would
arrive and he was on hand to meet and to
greet her. But be remembered her as she
was when young and giddy girl and, not
withstanding the fact that he had her
picture in his breast pocket, next to his heart,
he failed to recognize her and she failed to
recognize him. She wended her way sup
town" and he followed sadly behind. On
reaching the city, she made inquiries for her
promised husband and they soon found each
other and, after a brief delay, the twain were
made one flesh. We trust that az they
gradually become acquainted with one
another, they may enjoy large degree of
happiness and that, although she Hathaway
OF her Own, it may prove a pleasant way
indeed in the eyes of her newly made
husband.
